Plattsburgh Stinks!
“Jack Frost nipping at your nose…”
So goes that nauseating Xmas song. Yesterday in downtown Plattsburgh, Jack Shit was ripping at your nose. The scent of scat in your sinuses. Most likely the water treatment facility -- AKA the sewage plant -- was stinking up the place. The fecal miasma permeated everything.
We don’t think the culprit was the compost plant at the other end of town. As far as we know, they had to shut down that white elephant after two -- count ‘em, two-- fires. It seems the city doesn’t get the message until disaster hits twice. According to the history books, there used to be a dynamite factory right inside the city limits. It was asked to relocate after the second time it blew up. One must ask: Does the city know jackshit?
But the city prides itself on the great progress it’s making. After all, it’s going to have a new hotel built right on the water, a place where everyone can enjoy that fresh lake air.
Guess where the new hotel will sit.
Right near the sewage plant, of course.
